Training Accessibility Accommodations
Learners might require accommodations during class due to a disability. For this reason, Workday training content is designed with accessibility in mind.
Some of our current accessibility practices include:
- Adding image descriptions.
- Including closed captioning in self-directed training videos.
- Writing using more inclusive language.
- Providing screen reader accommodations.
For more information about how Workday approaches accessibility, visit the Accessibility page.
Submit an Accommodation Request
To submit a request for an upcoming course or exam, work with your Training Coordinator to submit a training case ibefore the event.
Instructions for Training Coordinators are available on the How To: Request Accommodations page.
Your Privacy Is Our Priority
We ask Training Coordinators not to specify the nature of the disability or medical condition that requires an accommodation. Only state one or more accommodations you’re requesting.
Available Accommodations
Workday considers requests for accommodations for individuals with disabilities. This process includes both permanent or situational disabilities.
In-Class Accommodations
- Early eBook Access: If the student needs more time to read the course manual and any activities in the course manual, we can send the student the course manual 1 week before the start date of the class. This way we're providing them with more time to review the materials.
- Companion or Interpreter: Students are permitted to bring a companion or interpreter to class. However, the student or partner organization should provide the companion or interpreter. The companion or interpreter isn't a registered student and doesn't receive a tenant. If their assistance is needed during the exam, note it information in the request case. Since the companion or interpreter isn't a registered student, you aren't charged for the additional attendee needed for the accommodation.
- Individualized Accommodations: If the student needs more individualized accommodations outside of what is described above, include the details of the student's needs in your case submission.
- Live Transcription (No Case Required): All of our classes are equipped with live transcription capabilities through Zoom. Students can enable live transcripts during the session.
- Zoom transcription and closed caption features used in our classes are a third-party hosted service, and their functionality lies outside of the control of Workday and Workday Education.
- If you're having issues with this feature, we suggest you consider trying these options:
- Restart the session.
- Ensure that you have the latest Zoom update.
- If you have concerns with the reliability with Zoom closed captions, we recommend you submit a request to have an interpreter attend the class to provide sign language or provide real-time manual captioning during the Zoom session.
